Here are the other attractions and experiences at Dark Universe:

• Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment - Universal’s state-of-the-art dark ride takes guests deep into Frankenstein Manor. Dr. Victoria Frankenstein shows off an experiment to control Dracula, but it all goes wrong when the monsters are released. Guests will try to avoid The Wolf Man, The Mummy, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, the Brides of Dracula and other monsters on the intense roller coaster.
• Curse of the Werewolf - In the Guild of Mystics, a seer will warn guests they “bear the mark of the werewolf.” Then, they will board a wagon and venture into the forest on this spinning family roller coaster to escape the werewolves.
• Darkmoor Monster Makeup Experience - Skilled artists converted Dr. Pretorius’ lab into a parlor to help guests of all ages become “fashionably monstrous,” complete with face paint and temporary tattoos.
• Meet the Monsters - Something is always looming in the shadows. Still, eerie creatures are ready to greet children and adults around the park, like Dr. Victoria Frankenstein’s Monster, the Bride of Frankenstein, Ygor, The Invisible Man and a talented musician with monster stories.
• Das Stakehaus—Darkmoor’s most ominous restaurant features the village’s history and is run by vampire “familiars.” Guests can feast on kebabs, burgers, and sandwiches.
• The Burning Blade Tavern - Monster hunters turned an old fiery mill into a hangout with a menu of burgers, wings, bratwurst, pretzels, and specialty beverages. Guests can see the display of monster heads deemed as “trophies.”
• De Lacey’s Cottage - A food stand that symbolizes the original Frankenstein’s Monster filled with snacks and cool treats will be next to Frankenstein Manor.
